 BHU Makes Mumsnet Member Scared To Move To Burgess Hill!
3rd September 2014
You know you've made it in life when your creation is the subject of discussion on Mumsnet and that's exactly what's happened to Burgess Hill Uncovered!
Seemingly people read Burgess Hill Uncovered when deciding whether to move to the town. On this occasion, the content worried 'MovingFromLondonTown' so much that she took to the popular forum to ask what it's really like...after she'd committed herself to moving here!
Here's what was posted....
Am I being unreasonable...To be sh*t scared of moving to Burgess Hill?

I've made the mistake of doing lots and lots of googling and came across a website BHU ( burgess hill uncovered ) and am now pretty scared! We decided to leave London ( concrete end of Surrey ) to give the kids a better life, smaller schools etc and being near to the sea but am now really panicked by what people are saying its like there. Any locals that can let me know what it's really like? |
The topic garnered 38 responses, many saying nice things about the town and a few funny ones like this...

Then look at what's on Burgess Hill uncovered and really see what they have discovered as huge problems for the town
www.burgesshilluncovered.co.uk/news/index.html A small group of travellers on an industrial estate, a burst water pipe and three cars that have had their windows broken, again whilst parked in a non-residential area.
Those are the key events for August so far. hmm |
It's quite funny that MovingFromLondonTown is scared to be moving to Burgess Hill based on what she's seen on Burgess Hill Uncovered.
She should be delighted that she's coming to a town with such a fantastic hyperlocal website and a huge Facebook page that'll help her find a lost pet (if she has a pets) and hook her up with a tradesman when her fence blows down!
If you readers have a spare moment, why not head on over to Mumsnet and tell MovingFromLondonTown what Burgess Hill's really like? Just don't mention the 10,000+ new homes with no infrastructure to support it!

Is Burgess Hill really that bad? Are BHU actually responsible for scaring people away? Did you use BHU for research purposes before moving here? |
